STEVEN RAMSEY, Plaintiff, v. SAS GLOBAL CORPORATION, Defendant.
HON. GEORGE CARAM STEEH
ORDER REGARDING DEPOSITION OF KEITH FLYNN, ESQ.
On August1, 2012, the deposition of plaintiff's former attorney, Mr. Keith F. Flynn, was scheduled for 10:00 a.m. At 10:50 a.m., the court was contacted by defendant's counsel, Mr. Stanley Pitts, along with Mr. Flynn's counsel, Mr. Richard G. Mack, Jr., seeking direction from the court in light of plaintiff's and/or his current counsel's non-appearance at the scheduled deposition.
The court was informed that plaintiff's counsel is well aware of the scheduled deposition given multiple communications with defense counsel and Mr. Flynn's counsel. Plaintiff's counsel is aware of the subpoena duces tecum and that the subject matter of the deposition included what authority, if any, was given to Mr. Flynn to accept the offer of judgment tendered, whether that authority was ever withdrawn, and whether any evidence memorializing the authority, or withdraw of same, exists. Plaintiff's new counsel has voiced no objection to the deposition nor has he sought to restrict the testimony to be elicited. Accordingly, the court directed the parties to proceed with the deposition as scheduled.
It is so ordered.
